There are lots of "A" list stars in this movie and guess what? It's still stinks. The story is about three unconnected Brooklyn cops Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, & Ethan Hawke who wind up at the same deadly location after enduring vastly different career paths. Antoine Fuqua directed this movie who did the classic Training Day with Denzel. Fuqua tries to bring to the big screen urban drug drama similar to HBO's The Wire but he fails miserably. Gere walks through a movie that should have gone straight to DVD. Snipes, plays a gangster AGAIN, and still can't top what he did in New Jack City as Nino Brown. Many other stars make cameo appearances but Ellen Barkin as Agent Smith is the only one that wakes me up from my coma.
Verdict: HUGE Disappointment.
